- If adding any other vegetables not listed in the ingredients, ensure they have similar cooking times so they cook at the same time.
- Cut vegetables into similar sizes for even cooking.
- If using potatoes, parboil first or cut into smaller pieces as these take a longer time to cook. You can also just roast the potatoes for 10-15 minutes before adding the other vegs to the baking tray.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
- Don't skip the oil as they ensure the seasoning stick to the vegs, ensure they don't dry out in the oven, and gives them a nice texture.
- Use a dark baking sheet/pan if you have. It helps with browning.
- Line the baking tray with parchment paper/baking sheet for easy clean up.
- Roast on high heat as this makes the vegetables tender and crisp, with a nice texture.
- Place the baking tray in the middle of the oven for the best heat distribution.
- Don't crowd the pan. Spread the veggies in a single layer and not on top of each other.
- Adjust oven temperature and time depending on the type of your oven.
- Add garlic butter, parmesan, cheese, herbs if you desire.

High temperature is best. For this recipe, I roasted at 200C fan oven / 425F with the baking tray/sheet placed on the middle rack of the oven.

No you should not cover vegetables when roasting. Covering will prolong cooking time and also it will steam instead of browning.
